Personal Hygiene

This should be common sense but apparently it’s not. It must be one of those, ‘easier said than done’ type deals. Regardless, personal hygiene is a MUST and if you think this entry does not apply to you, think twice. It applies to EVERYONE.

Let’s talk about the list…

Hands: This is more for the men than the ladies, but equally important for both. Everything that involves touching almost always involves our hands. Therefore germs are constantly with us. Just because we can’t catch colds with germy hands through our genitals, does not mean we can’t catch other stuff or irritate things. Guys, your hands are usually the first thing to touch our vaginas and if you have not washed your hands or have dirt under your finger nails, we can very much get a bacterial infection just because you didn’t wash your hands. And when that happens, it’s not fun for us or for you because no one is getting laid. Along with that, if you bite your nails or they break easily and you snag a woman’s vagina, be prepared to go to sleep with blue balls. And ladies, the nail snagging applies to you too, especially if you want to scratch a man on his back or wherever, won’t feel good when he starts bleeding. Last but not least, don’t stick your finger in anyone’s mouth if you haven’t washed your hands. No one wants to taste dirt. So keep your hands clean at all times but especially during any kind of sexual activity!

Feet: Why is it so hard to keep feet clean and looking nice? If you take care of them it shows that you take care of yourself and this applies to men and women. If you’re a guy and you think getting pedicures is gay, you need to check yourself. There is nothing nicer than looking at a pair of feet right before sex and giving the stamp of approval. Feet have to be treated like hands and although most people don’t ever involve their feet during sexual activities, they have to be well maintained nonetheless. Nails clean and clipped and bottom of feet hydrated. No one thinks dry, crackly feet are cute and if you snag clothes or even skin with your crackly feet, especially during sex, be prepared to kill the mood. So keep your feet presentable and smelling nice!

Mouth: Brush your teeth. If you’re going to possibly meet up with someone and have sex, brush your teeth. If for some reason you can’t, chew gum, eat a mint…do something to make your breath fresh. You know when you’re breath isn’t fresh. Eating, drinking, smoking or any other activity involving the mouth requires freshness after. Making out involves lots of saliva, and the truth is, when it tastes a certain way, or not fresh, getting all that saliva in your mouth just doesn’t sound appealing and if you’re the one with the not-so-fresh breath, you’ll get branded as that. And once you’re branded, chances are you won’t be making out as much as you’d like to! So keep the mouth fresh and clean!

Legs: This one is mostly for the ladies, but also for the men that shave their legs. Keep your legs freshly shaved, or fully grown out (for the men). There is no in between. When you’re naked and you start rubbing your legs with your partners’ legs, no one wants to get scratched up and nothing feels better than fresh smooth legs! Hydrate your legs as well. Dry, cracked skin is not in and never will be. Ladies, I know that shaving your legs constantly seems like a hassle, just ball park when you might be getting yours, and shave that day! If that doesn’t always happen, at least keep them maintained as best you can.

Underarms: I’m just going to put this out there. Armpits can be very gross or they can be nice. Deodorant is our friend. Over use it. Men, there are deodorants out here for you guys that smell so amazing it’ll make a woman drop her panties. Use them. Women, same for us, we have such good smelling deodorants, don’t hesitate to use them. For those of you that sweat profusely, there are special deodorants that are made especially for that. Also, shaved, well-kept underarms are the best way to go, for men and women. Of course women, unless you’re in Europe, shave your underarms. I don’t think even in Europe it’s attractive but that’s beside the point. Men, you might feel emasculated, but shaving your underarms is actually much more desired than you think. Us women put our heads by your underarms all the time, and we prefer nice, fresh smelling, possibly hairless underarms. I know there are ladies out there that prefer a hairy man, but that usually pertains to the chest area. All in all, make sure your underarms smell nice!

Ears: Having your ears licked or bitten is always a yummy part of making out but if your ears aren’t clean, they probably won’t be getting licked or bitten much longer. It’s not healthy to clean your ears everyday, but it isn’t wise to do it every 3 months either. This is common sense, just don’t forget to keep your ears clean, people’s mouths are going in that area!

Hair: Who doesn’t love fresh smelling hair that they can run their fingers through and grab? It’s not healthy to wash your hair everyday, at least for the women it’s not, but if you were at a bar the night before and people were smoking around you, chances are your hair doesn’t smell so good. Guys, if you’re the type to put all kinds of products in your hair so that your spikes will cut someone, just know that although it may look good, it doesn’t play well with sex…wash it out. Both men and women love to run hands in their partner’s hair for whatever reason while having sex, so make that possible! Soft, yummy smelling hair is always the route to take!

Pubic Hair: This is such a huge one with lots of controversy. I’ll start with the men. Guys, although your shaft doesn’t have hair on it, when we hit base, there will be hair down there. Now, not that it’s always bothersome but a trim is definitely necessary. I wouldn’t suggest completely shaving either. Pubic hair is so coarse that even a day after shaving does not feel good. And if a woman is riding you, believe that her vagina is getting sand papered. Not only that, you are very prone to ingrown hairs which doesn’t ever look cute. A trim will suffice.

Ladies, the majority of men like absolutely no hair. Shaving is always a good way to go even though as I mentioned above, pubic hair is coarse, but if you must, make sure your razor is sharp! Another route to take is waxing, it’s painful but looks and feels nice plus it thins out your hair each time you do it. And if that is absolutely not an option, then just keep it trimmed. No one wants to eat a bush straight out of the jungle.

Genitals: Now this one is the mother of all topics pertaining to personal hygiene. Right before you go down on someone, you’re hoping that they’re clean and not smelling funky. Everyone needs to shower before sex. I know lots of times that’s never even possible, but please, somehow, find a way. Everyone knows when there’s a chance you might have sex so just in case, shower. If it’s a hot day and you’ve been sweating in your jeans or if there’s moisture, chances are, it’s going to be a little funky, just take a quick shower. Having clean genitals is priority. If you’re shaking your head thinking it’s hard to do that, you shouldn’t be having sex. Keep it in your pants until you can keep it clean out of your pants.

Common sense guys. I’ve laid it out for you in layman’s terms. Use it, your partner will be much happier you did and you won’t have to worry about being ashamed hoping they won’t notice because they will!

So ladies and gentlemen, relax, it’s just sex. Get yours!
